KBA Master Calendar

Welcome to Knoxville Bar Association’s Event Calendar.This calendar serves members of the local legal community by including events of interest to the bar, including activities sponsored by outside organizations. Submit listings for the Event Calendar to Brooke McGee at bmcgee@knoxbar.org. CLE courses that are sponsored by providers other than the Knoxville Bar Association will not be included.

On Friday, December 27, 2013 from 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. the KBA CLE Committee will present ”Protecting Client & Office Data from Breach or Loss ”. The program was originally presented live during the KBA Law Practice Expo on April 12, 2013.

The video will be shown at the KBA office and a moderator will be present so the program has been approved for live CLE credit (instead of distance learning or online CLE credit which is limited to 8 hours per year). The program has been approved for 1 hour of dual CLE credit.

Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) programs, which allow employees to use their own smartphones, tablets and laptops in the work environment, are significantly changing information technology (IT). Law firms around the country are embracing BYOD, as it allows lawyers to share information quickly with clients and to use the mobile devices, service providers and operating platforms of their choice. The benefits of BYOD are clear, but there are big security concerns. Law firms and their clients that have a BYOD program in place or are thinking about creating one, need to know how the use of personal mobile devices can affect them and their customers. Attorney-client relationships prohibit the disclosure of private information. Loss of any client information could damage your client, your firm’s reputation and its pocket book.
